Twithulhu: Avatar of Cutethulhu
Wednesday, September 22, 2010
Twithulhu, a design based off Twitter's iconic bird that's been circulating around the web since summer, is the latest symbol of Lovecraftian kitsch spawned by online culture. The Twithulhu logo, which shows a sleek and defanged Cthulhu snoring in his ethereal slumber, is now available on coffee mugs, mouse pads, shirts, and other wares. This creation is notable for being a perfect representation of the whole Cutethulhu phenomena. Cthulhu's transformation into a cuddly companion started online, so Twithulhu is an appropriate evolutionary advancement, linking Lovecraft's most famous entity with a top social networking platform.
